Triple Twist Makeup & Hair Design

Mei is super amazing! She transformed my boring face into something so magical for my wedding, my own mother barely recognized me (in a good way!) I opted for the trial which gave me a peace of mind, and after going to the trial, I was more than confident the day of will be perfect, and it was! Mei and her husband, Robert who manages all the logistics and paperwork, arrived right on time, set up their station in less than 15mins and went to work on me and my bridesmaids. I also loved how efficient and transparent they run their business together, from the moment I requested a quote, Robert nailed it with the costs and full day schedule. As a busy bride to be, you’ll want someone who is organized, responds quickly, and skilled at what they do. They nailed everything from beginning to end.
I couldn’t have been happier to have found them. I had both hair and makeup done and my bridesmaids had a mix of some hair only some makeup only, all were extremely pleased. Highly recommended!

Mei did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup for my SF City Hall wedding. She was so attentive to what I wanted, and also able to give advice and suggestions when I wasn’t sure which style to go with. Her work is loooooong lasting — I went to brunch and ate before my ceremony and photos, and even the lipstick did not budge and still looked perfect in the pictures. Her studio is convenient to City Hall, and she and Robert are extremely organized and professional. Mei’s warm and kind attitude helped to ease any wedding day jitters, and she was such a perfectionist with every last detail for my big day. She made me look like a movie star! I highly recommend Triple Twist for hair and makeup.

Triple Twist provided hair services for my San Francisco destination wedding. I wasn’t able to make it to SF for a trial prior to the wedding so I was a little nervous about my hair that day, but I needn’t have been! Triple Twist showed up right on time and provided beautiful hairstyles for me, 2 moms, 2 bridesmaids and a flower girl. Everyone loved their hair! The only negative at all was that by the end of the night the curls in hair that was down had relaxed out, but I think that is likely due to the humidity and wind in SF not due to the styling. Both ladies were friendly and listened to what each person wanted and delivered exactly that. Mai did my hair and I loved it. I only had a vague idea of what I wanted (a side up do with a sophisticated, glamorous look) so I wasn’t able to give much guidance, but it didn’t matter, she somehow read my mind and it was even more beautiful than what I had envisioned. And… it looked just as good at the end of the night as it had when she finished despite the fact that my venue was outside. As a side note, Robert who does the business side for Triple Twist is also fantastic. He’s very responsive and when we had a little miscommunication regarding price for my flower girl he fixed it immediately even though I had already signed the contract with her at the bridesmaid price. Triple Twist provided professional service all around. I highly recommend!

Mei is amazing at what she does! She is so friendly and welcoming into her beautiful studio! My mom, sister, and I got our hair and makeup done by Mei for my City Hall wedding on ⁵⁄₁₈. I did not do the trial run so honestly, I was a little nervous for the outcome. Being that I typically do not wear a lot of makeup, I was worried my makeup would look too cakey BUT it was far from that. Very natural with just enough pop of color on my eyes and lips! My sister and mom loved their makeup too (and thats saying a lot, they are super picky!!). We were all provided with a makeup pad for touch-​ups throughout the day. For my hair, I showed her a picture of what I was going for. While it wasn’t identical, it was still beautiful and most importantly, stayed all night! I would say about 10:30am-9pm. Pricing is very reasonable and communication with her manager (husband) Robert was quick and responsive!
I could not have asked for a better hair/​makeup artist for my special day!

Wow, Mei and her fellow artists Anna and Victoria did an amazing job for our wedding day. I was flying blind for hair and makeup, and wanted someone who could come to our hotel to work with myself and the bridal party. From my first random email via the Knot, Robert and Mei responded almost immediately, providing a proposed schedule and cost breakdown. I booked a trial right away, and Mei was such a pleasure to work with. Seeing the trial with professionally lit photos helped me to envision the look that would be captured on the wedding day, and I was sold. Robert was very responsive over email, helping to keep
all the logistics in line. And day of couldn’t have gone better! Mei, Victoria, and Anna were right on time, kept to the schedule, did beautiful work on all of us, and were flexible towards the end when a photo delay necessitated Mei stick around for an extra 15 minutes. I am not one to have my makeup done professionally unless it is for a specific occasion (typically someone’s wedding), and Mei helped me feel totally at ease, answering my questions and reassuring me when needed. They were also more reasonably priced when compared with similar makeup and hair combination businesses, which was so very appreciated. I would absolutely recommend working with them!

I came from out of town but Mei/​Robert was easily reachable and communicated with me prior to my arrival. Even without the trial run, my makeup turned out excellent.
Mei will definitely listen to your vision and requests but she will also offer her recommendation of what work best for your hair/​face. You just have to communicate fully beforehand and trust her to her skills.
My makeup received many compliments and lasted all day and through the night.
Thanks Mei and Robert!

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Mei made me look and feel like a Greek Goddess for a day!
Thank you so much Triple Twist! The experience was fantastic.

I am extremely grateful I found Mei online while planning my destination wedding in San Francisco.
Mei and her associate made my wedding day picture perfect for my mom, sister in law and myself. We each received gorgeous up-​dos in styles we never would have thought of ourselves.
I don’t wear a lot of makeup and wanted a very natural look, Mei listened and made my makeup very natural which lasted all day even during the rain. Mei has a «glam» station to die for that comes with her to all appointments.
Since I live on the East Coast, I did not do a «dry run» with my hair and/​or makeup as she offers.
I didn’t need one as Mei and her associate listened to us and made our visions come to life.
Her husband, her business manager, was extremely responsive to all my emails with questions (and trust me I had alot) over the two months before our ceremony
I highly recommend Mei for brides as well as people wanting to be pampered before other events

5 stars, hands down! A great big thanks to Mei!
The entire process (booking, paying, day-​of details) was straightforward and easy. I had Mei do my hair and makeup for my SF City Hall wedding. The look she created was exactly as I had asked — natural yet elegant. Mei seemed to know exactly what I was looking for even though we never went through a «trial» session. That’s talent right there! My makeup and hair looked great and lasted throughout the day. As a person, Mei is calm, professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. She uses top-​notch makeup and knows her stuff.
I strongly recommend Triple Twist Makeup & Hair Design for your special day. You won’t be disappointed!

Mei was wonderful. She is very warm and very professional. Make up was natural beautiful and great for the pictures. She did an amazing job with my hair. I brought natural flowers and she made an amazing creation. Communication with Robert was easy and efficient. Thank you both Mei and Robert!

I had a trial with Mei and ended up not choosing her for my wedding. I had a great experience coordinating the appointment. Robert was great and very responsive. The studio is located conveniently in downtown. However, when it comes down to the makeup and hair, my trial lasted less than 90 mins with only 1 look and 1 hair style. I left the studio wondering if I had got the best look for my wedding. The makeup was also too heavy and cakey for me (it looks great on pictures though). Lastly, I made the decision after I got home (within 3 hours after the trial, after dinner at an indoor/​sit-​down restaurant by the Bay) and found that my eye makeup was completely smudged (it was a cold January night). All that said, it was just my decision. Mei has great skills and credentials. I’m sad it didn’t work out for me. They say one needs to connect with your wedding photographer… I think it applies to the makeup/​hair stylist too =)

Mei was simply amazing! She was able to recreate exactly what I wanted from a picture and she made sure I was comfortable and taken care of the whole time! She was very gentle and paid close attention to detail. Thanks Mei for the incredible hairstyling!

Mei and Robert were excellent! Mei made me look fresh, natural, and elegant for my wedding day. I do not wear a lot of makeup, so I was a bit anxious that I might look like I have too much makeup on. But I was very happy and comfortable with how I looked. Everyone gave me tons of compliments about my hair and makeup. I certainly had to give out Mei’s email addresses to several of my friends after the wedding. Robert and Mei were also very easy to work with, and extremely professional. I found this to be a relief since wedding planning is already stressful because of everything else that you need to do. If you want to look spectactular, elegant, and beautiful for the best night of your life, I highly recommend Mei & Robert.

Mei is wonderful! She is very professional and she knows how to make me look good. She is also very helpful helping me to decide which look better on me. Moreover, she went beyond her work and helped me with other things as well. They are also flexible to work with and very kind to allow me to make some last minute change. I would highly recommend Mei to every of my friends. I would say she def know her work well and respects clients and very easy to work with. Most importantly, Mei is affordable, not like other companies which are much much more expensive. Her service and work def worth more than the price I paid for!

Mei & Robert were a wonderful help in getting me ready for my SF City Hall elopement.
Robert’s assistance throughout the booking, virtual trial and confirmation process was much appreciated — he was so prompt and thorough!
Mei’s cool and calming attitude was EXACTLY what I needed on the morning after stupidly forgetting my dress! What she did with my hair and makeup was perfect — exactly what I wanted and I felt absolutely beautiful — like a vintage princess! Both hair and makeup lasted all night, and the hair lasted into the next day too — I loved it so much I didn’t want to take it out! Mei’s help with getting me ready in the dress and taking some photos was so very much appreciated.
The studio and dressing room are just beautiful.
I am so very pleased that I chose Triple Twist — they are a fabulous team and their fantastic reviews are well deserved. I would not hesitate to recommend them!

Triple Twist was PERFECT for my friend and her special day! Manager Robert and stylist Mei were wonderful to work with and helped tremendously through the process of getting ready for the whirlwind wedding. Robert answered all my questions and emails quickly with completely detailed responses. Mei helped us schedule a time that worked perfectly for the bride and was an absolute joy in the studio! Her hair and makeup turned out absolutely stunning and were produced exactly to the bride’s wishes. We were worried because we were not able to commute into the city early for a trial, but we were delighted with how detailed the experience was. Definitely would recommend for all brides! Thank you again!!!

Triple Twist turned out to be a wonderful decision for our wedding. Robert and Mei are a great team – Robert in particular is an excellent communicator and I really appreciated his prompt replies and friendliness.
To be honest, during my hair/​makeup trial I felt a little unsure about things turned out… in particularly, I felt really disappointed with my hair. I had picked a style that looked great on blonde hair, but with my dark brown hair, it just fell flat. Pro tip: Look at pics of hair on models that have YOUR hair color and texture. Maybe that’s obvious to most people but it wasn’t to me! Anyway, Mei listened to my feedback and generously agreed to have me back for a re-​do at no charge, and I left the second session feeling a lot better! I can’t stress the importance of the trial – it’ worth it, and if I hadn’t done it, I think I would have been a grumpy bride on wedding day.
Mei and her assistant (Yoong helped us on wedding day) are both pretty shy and aren’t too chatty – so that kind of caught me off guard at first – but it doesn’t matter because they focus and do amazing work. My bridesmaids, the two mothers, and I were all thrilled with the results and we all felt beautiful. That’s the most important part, right?! I’ll add that their prices were more affordable than most stylists I looked into… they’re not cheap, but they are much more reasonable than most! I definitely recommend TT.

Robert and Mei were a great team to work with throughout the wedding festivities. They were very responsive to any of my questions and requests and on the wedding day Mei and her team made myself and the entire wedding party look beyond amazing! Mei even helped when my brother broke out in a last minute allergic reaction that left red dots all over his face near his mouth. After 8 – 10 minutes it was as if it never happened and stayed that way throughout the evening. Her artistry made all of us look flawless with a timeless beauty and elegance. She also nailed every hair style request from photos we had off websites. She even remained flexible when I had two attendants arrive late and miss their spot in the timeline and we were able to rotate people around to make everything work (I had 6 + myself). I would highly recommend Mei and Triple Twist for your wedding make-​up and hair needs.

Absolutely love Mei and Robert.
Mei was pleasure to work with.
I did two trials with her and got to know her a bit.
Her husband Robert was always responsive and prompt.
Mei did the hair and make up for me, my bride maids as well as both mothers.
I was concern about the timing as my mother in law can be difficult but Robert was very understanding and assured me their priority for the bride.
Mei buffered me from my mother in law and even suggested I took a bath.
The hair and make up were all on schedule.
Everything was completed with ease.
My hair and make up was even better than the trial.
My maid of honor (twin sister) was also very happy with her look.
Mei was conscious of differentiating us and made sure the maid of honor make up style bear no resemblance.
It was a true pleasure working with Mei and Robert.

Are you getting married? Do you want to look hot? Do you want to keep looking hot for hours and hours, even after a long night of dancing? Then Mei is definitely your makeup artist.
If you are looking for a team that is *professional*, responsive, organized, and highly focused on customer service, then you have to go with Robert & Mei.
During my trial, Mei really spent time with me to understand what kind of look I was going for. She took great professional shots and e-​mailed them to me so I could be 100% sure I liked the style she had put together.
On top of providing amazing hair & makeup, Mei was so sweet and kind to me and my bridesmaids while she was getting us ready on my wedding day. PLUS — they have this cool make up station surrounded by lights which just looks great in photographs.
I can’t recommend Triple Twist enough — they really made my wedding day magical.
